这项研究调查了年轻人和老年人如何记住价格信息。参与者研究了以市价定价或远高于或低于市价的食品。尽管年轻人在不切实际的价格上表现出比老年人更好的回忆表现，但在现实价格上没有年龄差异，而且两组人在记住物品的一般价格范围方面同样准确。结果表明，当老年人可以依赖先前的知识和图式支持，并且任务涉及自然材料时，对联想信息的记忆可以与年轻人一样好。
The present study examined how younger and older adults remember price information. Participants studied grocery items that were priced at market value or were well above or below market value. Although younger adults displayed better recall performance for unrealistic prices than older adults, there was no age difference for realistic prices, and both groups were equally accurate at remembering the general price range of the items. The results suggest that when older adults can rely on prior knowledge and schematic support, and tasks involve naturalistic materials, memory for associative information can be as good as that of younger adults.
